Jupiter Botanical + Preeti Samraj Open Studio Timelapse 

This short video includes seven hours of timelapse footage condensed into two minutes. An interactive mandala/rangoli inspired floral installation is created, enjoyed and dismantled. Friends and strangers stop by to give and receive good wishes which are written on colored pieces of paper and passed on a vessel at the center of the installation. The video highlights the last remaining five people who help blow out the candles, ending the night. The next day the installation is removed leaving no visible trace of the night before.
